Eurofighter Typhoon (UK versions) - Technical data and discussion (Part 3)

Sure

It’s less about missile range and more about aircraft speed and radar performance.

I can get airborne and cross map in under 5 minutes in the Typhoon, and that’s without factoring in missile range or something just as fast coming at me from the opposite direction.

Tbh, I’ve thought maps are too small ever since they added 4th gen aircraft

Thank you

Way I see it is if I can spawn and be within detection or weapons range, whichever is greater, of the enemy spawn, the map is too small.

For the most part, I agree

@DevilO6 you know what you have to do now

Just realised something.

SRC radar and ACM radar at the same time

The Javelin technically has 2 different radars that can work in tandem, because to lock onto a target, you use essentially a ACM radar, but you remain in a SRC mode at the same time. Even with a lock, the SRC keeps scanning.

SRC radar still active even with a STT lock

This means that PIRATE + CAPTOR-M/E is probably already technically possible, given that IRST is basically just a radar in the code.

Now having 2x TWS at the same time might cause issues, but just need to limit it to select one target at a target

That is, hilariously enough, also not the case! Two sensors can operate using different data and create a merged track as-is. Try locking something with the IRST in rapier (which cannot get range data) while your search radar is active, for example. The radar will provide the range data (!!!) for the IRST track!

Behold the thing gaijin claims they cannot do:

I’d be willing to bet if you had a TWS passive ranging IRST (the game also supports this just fine) and a TWS radar operating in tandem it would produce literally no issues whatsoever.

I completely forgot.

Well, here it is. From the occasion of Part 3, Celebtatory Brimstone

Honestly, I lost the original picture, so I don’t remember what it was.
Robably not a Brimstone, but it is what it is.

PW 4 drop speed limit?

wait this is only for tornado i think

I don’t know report isn’t clear

I also think the GR4 already got it

no working flight path vector even on a top tier jet? seriously gaijin?

I wish they would fix the Mech scan on Captor M…Fat stupid whale sized Su-30MK in front of me TWS could not detect it. Surely if the RWR can detect the emissions my dumb Radar should also be able to see it.

Reset the radar slew angles and put it in super narrow TWS and still nothing I am having to Hard lock in IR helmet mode and then switch to Radar mode.

Joke that a jet this high up in the game remains an unfinished mess.

The EFTs should have use AIM-120C-8s right?
